Tips For Training Your Golden
3
Although there are many training tips for Golden
Retrievers, teeth is the most common. Golden
puppies love to chew, and will chew anything they
can get. Although chew toys are preferred,
there is a way that you can help your
Golden fulfill his natural instinct to chew,
and help him to ease the pain of teething as
well.
4
To start, simply fill an old sock you have with
several ice cubes. Next, put a knot in the sock
and place the sock with the cubes in the freezer.
When your puppy starts to chew on things, simply
give him the sock. You can keep several socks
with ice in it in your freezer if you want, so
your puppy will always have a chew toy. Although
this is great to use, you should never leave your
dog alone with the sock. He could end up chewing
the sock and swallowing pieces of it, which could
lead to very serious health problems.

LeashesDuring leash training, a lot of people
prefer to attach the leash to the Golden then
drag him in the direction they want him to go.
This isnt the best way to train, as it often
sends the wrong signal to the puppy. Instead, you
should first get your Golden puppy used to the
collar and the leash. You can do this by putting
his collar and leash on inside the house or
outside in a fenced in area, so that he can walk
around and move about freely with the leash on,
dragging it alongside him.
6
Once you have given him some time, pick the leash
up, then start calling him to you. Once he comes
over to you, start praising him for it, so he
knows that he is on the right track. Always be
patient when leash training, as it will take some
time for him to get used to it. If you continue
to praise him when he is doing it right and
continue giving him time to get used to the
leash, you shouldnt have any problems.

Digging aroundDigging is something that
Golden Retrievers love, as it is essential
to their nature. Digging can be somewhat
frustrating if you dont give your Golden an area
to himself, as he will dig holes in your yard. If
you keep your Golden indoors, he may try to dig
in the floor, on the couch, or on the bed.
Digging is part of their nature, and you should
never punish a Golden for digging.
8
To help him fill this need, you should give him
an area to dig in. You can get him a kiddie pool
or sandbox, filling it with either soil or sand.
Then, try burying a treat or toy in inside, so
your Golden will dig to get it out. Once he
learns this is where he should dig, he will more
than likely head to that area when he has the
need to dig. Later on, when he becomes a bit
older, you should invest in obedience training
classes that will help him to get his digging
habits under control.

The above tips can help a great deal when
training your Golden Retriever puppy.
Goldens are great dogs, although youll need to
have a bit of patience with them. Even though
they are very smart dogs, it may take
them time to learn. Once they start
learning however - they will become an integral
part of your family that you couldnt begin to
live without.
